Local Venue Know-How

From Redwood City courtyards to Morgan Hill vineyards, each site demands unique setup logistics, iCelebrate Event Rentals evaluates setbacks, terrain, and permit requirements to ensure smooth installations, making every setup as effortless as possible.

What to Measure Before You Book

Buffet lines, bars, and lounge clusters expand needed square footage beyond just seats, features such as heaters, dance floor rental San Jose AV rigs, and lighting stands add clearance needs, site obstructions define tent placement and fire-lane access, iCelebrate Event Rentals folds every variable into our size recommendations to ensure comfort without overspending.

From Petite Canopies to Grand Pavilions

Our collection spans petite 10×10 shelters to majestic 40×200 pavilions, adapting seamlessly from driveway dinners to high-profile corporate galas. High-peak and sailcloth designs lend graceful slopes to evening receptions in Saratoga or Los Gatos, while classic gable frames deliver sharp lines for trade shows and branded activations.

Visualizing Before You Rent

With a 20×20 footprint, you get around forty banquet seats or fifty rows, shifting to about thirty once you include service tables, the 30×60 layout seats 150 for plated dinners and can flex to 120 when you roll out a 20×20 dance space, our 40×80 structures hold over 200 for seated service plus cocktail lounges, and detailed layout schematics we provide help you test seating and service zones before you commit.

Add-Ons That Influence Dimensions

Sidewalls, liners, and chandeliers enhance ambiance but require extra clearance around tent perimeters, our consultants integrate every accessory into your size estimate to secure airflow, comfort, and code compliance. Flooring options—from hardwood dance floors to carpeting—alter load distribution and edge anchoring needs, allowing you to refine your canopy configuration well before event day.

Pick by Occasion

Backyard showers and birthday bashes in Milpitas thrive under 10×20 or 15×30 frames, while fancy ceremonies and large fundraisers demand 30×60 or 40×80 couture tents, complete with draping, sidewalls, and flooring. Brand activations and product reveals gravitate toward 30×60 gable tents with staging decks, whereas school carnivals lean on modular pop-ups and high-peak demos.
